I have some interest in extending Apache 1.3.x’s ability to protect
web resources. I am happy with mod_auth_digest’s functionality, but
would really like to leverage the fact that OS X Server has a
directory of user’s existing in Open Directory.
Can anyone tell me if they have used mod_auth_ldap on the OS X Server
(or Client) platform? If so, how did you get it to compile and
install? If so, did you choose to use OpenLDAP-based libraries or did
you go through the process of compiling and installing the
Mozilla-hosted Netscape Directory C SDK??
I've compiled it on both server and client, compiling against OpenLDAP
libraries only.
The last one I did of auth_ldap, I just used the built in OS X Server
OpenLDAP to compile against.
From browsing the config.status file, it looks like all I had to do was:
Looking at the mod times, this was a while ago though that I built
it... v 1.60, but it hasn't been updated in quite a while.
I believe this is the same ldap auth module that is included in Apache
2. I seem to remember trying a few of them, and this one was definitely
the best of the lot.
